Chesley Chambers will be released from the Southern, prison in about ten days. Rufe East was in town the first of the week. His wife has been visiting her parents, in this city,for some time.

All the pike bids were rejected on account of being too high, and the Commissioners will try it again next month. Now that the cold weather has set in, the Red Men, of this city,are on the war path and are taking the scalps of numerous pale faces. There are several cases of fever among the children in town, among them being the daughters of Dr. F. A. McGee, James Kelley and D. W. Demaree.

A. brother of Nat Hill is now book keeper at Waldron Hill & Co's. Charley Gregory has a position as book-keeper for the Studebaker Bros at Paoli. Bart Roseberry & Co. sold last week to J. M. Thompson, of Franklin, lnd., one hundred head of good cattle, to be fed at the starch works at that place. The amount paid for the lot was $3,100. Extensive arrangements are being made for additional side traek and yard room for the "Monon" at this place. With the location of the train dispatcher's office here, this will be one of the most important points on the road. The electric light company have taken possession of their new station near the depot. They now have their own power and will be able to give better satisfaction, although there have been but few kickers in the past. The Jenney Co. is now one of the permament and most im

portant enterprise that Blooming-

ton can boast of.,

In the deep rock cut near here, on the 21st, a brakeman on a freight train of the L. N. A. & C. Ry. named Fitzgerald, met with a painful accident. In climbing to the to the top of a box car to reach the brake he collided with the rock embankment and was knocked off the car, reciving severe injuries on the head, shoulders and chest. He was taken to New Albany and received surgical attention from Dr. Easly, local surgeon of the company. The evening lecture before the Teachers' Association; of Monroe county,will be delivered- by Prof. George W: Bass, of Indianapolis. Subject, "Humor and Humorists." Concerning the lecturer the Cincinnati Enquirer. says : "His renditions of selected pieces and imitations of Mark Twain captivated and controlled the entire audience, who for near two hours enjoyed his humorous quotations and selections without tiring, repeatedly encoring the delightful speaker." The lecture will be free and a big crowd may be expected. The M. E. Church Red, White

For several weeks past the farmers

East and South of town have been greatly annoyed by petit robberies about their premises, and no clew could be obtained to the perpetrator. Among the numerous sufferers were Cliff Thompson, Robert Henry Wm. Moore, Andy Wycoff , William Belcher, Mc Wylie, Wm. Mefford,

and several others. The matter

finally got into the hands of ex-City Marshal Ren. C. Smith, and the result was a shrewd piece of detective

work and the capture of the thief. Mr. Smith questioned the country people in the communities where the robberies were committed as to whether any strangers had been seen lurking in the neighborhood. Various descriptions of persons were given but the most of them agreed as to the appearance of one man

who seemed to be loitering about the country and Mr. Smith began a search for that man in Bloomington. In going over in his mind the men about town who would likely be guilty of most any devilment for

one answering the description given

him by the country people, it did not take him long to "put this and that together" and fix upon his man. The saloons and public places were watched, and on last Saturday

night Mr. Smith waited into Souders's billiard hall, next door to the Postoffice, and arrested Joe Lamb. Now the reader will want to know 'who in the thunder" is Joe Lamb? All we know about the expert young thief is, his father who, we believe, has a "Rev." attached to his name, lives in Mrs. Souders property, West of the railroad. Immediately after the arrest; Mr. Smith searched his prisoner and found on his person enough stuff to stock a good sized jewelry and notion store. There were revolvers, watches, pocket books, gloves, handkerchiefs, articles of jewelry, &e., &c. It was a wonder how the fellow got about with so much "truck" on his person. Like all other lambs, this Lamb weakened when caught. He confessed to most everything except the late town burglaries. W hen asked if he broke into Capt Allen's house he wanted to know which one of the houses that was. Lamb is a shiftless sort of a fellow, as Aunt Ophelia would say,and loafed about town without visible means of support. His plan of' working was he would go into the country on Saturday and on Sundays when the people were in town or at church he would go through the premises for watches jewelry, money, &c. On his person was found some of the old fractional currency that he stole at Robt Henry's. Nearly all of the articles have been indentifled by the owners Lamb is now in jail, where he will remain until the November term of court, when if he is given the fullest extent of the law on all the charges he can be sent up for nine-ty-nine years. Taylor Voss has sold his barber shop to a barber from Greencastle.

AN EFFECT TO PREVENT FUR

TUER RASCALITY.

A new step in the Grimes-Pedigo

Auditor Contest case became necessary, this week, on the part of Mr. Pedigo's attorney's. The 5th of Nov. is the day the new Auditor takes the office, and as the decision of the Supreme Court will not likely be handed down by that time and as the Grimes gang through the Republican County Commissioners are determined to seat their man on the 5th regardless of the fact that Pedigo has his Commission, it was thought best by Pedigo's attorneys to apply to the Supreme Court for an injunction to prevent the consumation of the rascally scheme. As the case had been advanced on the docket of the Supreme Court,in

spite of the protest of Grimes' at

torneys, it was hoped by Pedigo's

friends that a decision would be

rendered before the 5th, but when upon last Saturday the Supreme

Court adjourned until Tuesday

of next week hopes of a decision in time were abandoned, according Ed Corr went to Indianapolis Monday to file the papers for a writ of injunction. The Judges of the Supreme Court will come together next Tuesday to pass upon the application. If it is granted it will hold good until the Court decides the case, and as by the first Monday in December the Board of County Commissioners will have a Democratic majority the Grimes gang can look for no help from that source. Two of the present Board decided in favor of Grimes when the contest case was tried before them, one of them it is said so decided against the dictations of his own conscience. If the Supreme Court should refuse the injunction, although Pedigo is fairly entitled to take the office on the 5th,he having his commission from the Governor, and has given bond to indemnify Grimes should he finally be given the office, the Republican Commissioners would be called on by the gang to defy all law and fairness and seat Grimes. Pedigo wo'd have no recourse except an injunction from the Circuit Court, the machinery of which the Grimes gang would also expect to control. All friends of an honest ballot, all opposers to ballot "doctoring," be they Republicans, Greenbackers or Democrats are earnestly hoping that the Supreme Court will decide in favor of Simeon Pedigo, the man who was last fall fairly elected Auditor of this county, and who was wronged, and the rights of the whole people defied, by a small gang of scoundrels who changed the ballots after they had been voted and originally counted. And we might here add, by the way of a postscript, that evidence against that "small gang" is daily accumulating. Ed Whetsell will send high prices up in a balloon Nov. 5th. $1.50 pays for the Courier until after the next presidential' election.

It is proposed to form a company with a capital stock of 50,000, with sharer at $50 each. No town in Indiana needs water works worse than Bloomington, and the investment would undoubtedly be a paying one.

and speeches. The following program was quite interesting : Song by a male quartette ; Declamations by Bessie Hewson and Charles Garrison ; Song by Mr. Mutz ; Declamations by Mary Givler,Willie Sharp and Mattie Orchard. The latter very nicely recited the "Blue and the Gray," Guitar solo by Miss Maty Overman who received a hearty encore, and an excellent flute solo by Howard Tourner. On the whole, the entertainment was quite a success.

Hon. R. W. Miers returned from

Greensburg last Friday morning

where he had been to attend the funeral of his father. Mr. Miers,sr., was one of the oldest and stanchest citizens of Decatur county. At the Great Council of the Red Men held at Indianapolis last week T. H. Sudbury came within one vote of being elected Great Sachem of the State. This was a close shave, but a compliment nevertheless. Bro. Sudbury is undoubtedly a close runner.

When the shops and round-house of the L. N. A. & C. railroad in this city burned recently, it was whiperecl that the shops would not be rebuilt. lt now transpires that the only thing Michigan City will get upon the site of the ruined works is a small round-house, the machine work to hereafter be done at Monon. To this end the officials of the road heve just purchased at Monon four acres of ground in addition to the eleven acres already occupied by their shops there. The officials kept mum on the subject of removal when they were here to adjust their insurance. The News is reliable informed that these officials had concluded to not rebuild the shops immediately after they were destroped. There were from twenty to twenty-five men employed

here. This move means at least a dozen additional families to Monon and that number lost to Michigan City. Michigan City News,

Young man -and old and tooit's about time to stop your whining about hard times and nothing to do, and go to work. If you can't get work exactly suited to your aesthetic taste, tackle something else. Times will always be hard if you idle away your time on the street corners, or spend your money for grog. Whiskey is an expensive luxury. The pric of four drinks a day will buy all the food you want and furnish a suit of comfortable clothes at the end of the year. If you spend foolishly the amount that another man saves, what right have you to grumble, and envy him

for being ahead in the world? You have the same chance that he did. You spent your money in your own foolish, selfish way, for your own gratifications, and no one particularly cares; but have no right to abuse your neighbor because he chose to do as he whished with that which belonged to him. If he puts his means in a house and lot, and in good clothing, while you invest in still houses and dissipation, you have no right to kick.

"Uncle Tom" will be here again next Tuesday night Of course we will ail want to go again and laugh over Topsy and Marks, and cry over Eva and Uncle Tom.
